Holiday World is having a Haiku contest for free park tickets. What is a haiku? It’s a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 moras or syllables, in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. Post your Holiday World Haiku and you could win 4 one-day park tickets plus 2 nights in one of the RVs at Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort (must use 5/1-26 or 6/1-10 in 2010). Must post entry on Facebook by noon CDT 3/22/10; must be 13 or older; no employees or relatives from HW or LR eligible. Here’s the link to Holiday Worlds Facebook page. You must become a fan to post.
Still confused on what a haiku is? Here are a few of my and other contestant’s submissions:
Tame the Wildebeest
The longest water coaster
Up hills like magic
Engineer I am
LIMS are fascinating tech
Will is my hero
Visit with ten friends
Weight limit is eight hundred
Can’t ride all at once
The Wildebeest is wicked
Abundant airtime
The year of the steel coaster?
Please let it be so.

I’d actually feel bad about winning because Holiday World is one of the few parks that is worth the money. The free nights in the RV would be a great deal though. Good luck!
